ABC look at me

Oh, how it has gotten so quiet this Monday.  If I say so my self, it is like the kids have all gone back to school.  Well maybe so, this is the 27th of Aug.  The time is flying fast this Summer is almost gone.

Then soon the time changes.  Then the nights will start turning cooler.  Trees will change color and the kids will take leaves to school for the teachers. Where the little ones will learn their ABC's and 1 2 3's.  Homework will become the dirty word for some children.  Others will knuckle down and be ready for the
work.

I look forward to all the changes and the Seasons.  Fall is a beautiful time of the year.  Red, Yellow and Orange trees will dress the mountainsides. The cooler temps will be a blessing for all who hate the heat of
Summer.

So for now I say "Happy Fall Ya'll! "

Summers fairwell song

The heat of the day can find most of us sitting in a chair in our front rooms with the AC on.  Then off to bed with the AC on. But, the crickets are very loud and the din of the AC can't  drum out their noise, Ah song!

As a child I would listen to them for hours while waiting for the sandman to come and make me sleepy.  They would seem to get louder as the Summer's heat stayed till Auguest's end.  Around the first days of school came I would see some of them on the sidewalk.  They were very dark and slow. Little did I know that as the Summer ended so did they.

With Summer waining and the crickets song as loud as it can be, I see that school starts around the 27th. of Auguest.  So, I guess, this is Summers fairwell.  I truely will miss that loud noise the crickets make as they say good-bye to Summer time.

Summer Fun is coming to a close.

With the children playing outside or in the next room, Mom and Dad are looking over the new year of school
needs.  Yes, the lists are out and some have already made a dent on them. School's coming fast and the end of  the Summer Fun is getting shorter.  That means that new clothes for school, new shoes, new notebooks and other items must be ready for that first day of the new school year.

We here at Nanny Goat Crafts wish all a new and wonderous school year!  But while you can enjoy the rest of the Summer.  I still have some nice Summer things here in the store.  I have started into making some things for the Fall.  There are the pumpkin caps for everyone and sweat shirts with a Fall look. Tee shirts with the Halloween pumpkin face and black cat.  Baby onesies with a touch of Fall to them are here too.
Bread cloths, table runners and napkins to match.  Washcloths to send back to school with the college group  And much more to look at and use for gifts.  

Happy Auguest to you all!!!!

Hot, hot, hot

Yes, I did say that bad 3 letter word: HOT.
We all might be upset with the heat and the burning sun, but we should not say too much about it.
Reason? Well this Winter we might wish we had some of that heat.  It is a shame that we cant bottle that heat up so we could open it and have it for the Winter's cold.

Nanny Goat and I have been trying to keep cool under the big Hunters fan we have in the shop.  I know it takes the temps down about 20 degrees.  And that is cool enough to start knitting the Fall and Winter items.

At this time I am working on the Fall Pumpkins caps for the whole family.  The orange globs have the stem and the leaves just like the real thing. They come in sizes of Baby, Teen and  Adults. The cost is $8 for each size.  Here my son helps model the Adult size.  He has been seen running for work or to catch a taxi in New York City.  they are made of acrylic yarns and form fitting to the head to keeping in the warmth.

So I do hope we have a great Fall ya all!!!

Summer is upon us

We have you covered for fun things for summer. A lite colored tee with the Pansies and Dragon flies on them is a large size. The wee ones have a juice bib with Mr. Sunshine  that is trimmed in blue and white poka dots. And for the Kidds Clothes there is a train to help you ride along.  These are just a few things that  are fun items for Summer.  I cant wait to go on a picnic!!

Look what I got you Dad, Happy Fathers Day!

I saw this at Nanny Goat Crafts in downtown Frederick Dad.  And it was just your size! Yes, it is a large Dad. And if you want to Dad you can turn it inside out and wear it as a solid color of a dark tan.  It has really neat cars on it you just might remember riding in too!








                                                                                   Then I saw this tee with a picture of George on it and
thought you would like it too! This is a size ex large blue tee and it is a great likeness of George too!  Gee Dad I just didn't know what to do  so I bought you both.  Happy Fathers Day  Daddy!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY  to all the dads out there!  Remember Fathers Day is this Sunday June 17th.

All I want to do for Fathers Day!

Most of us will go see our Dad.  We will take something for him and we will have dinner.  Then we will take an do something with Dad.  Oh how I wish I could do that with my Dad.  My Dad passed away in 1999.  I miss him so much. I would love to make him a lemon pound cake. Then the kids and I would all pile into the truck and go to Mon and Dads house.  I would help Mom with dinner and we would gather around the table together.  Fathers Day was a relaxed day for him.  But years before he worked at the hospital.  The Doctors would take turns on call for each and every holiday. Once he was retired he would not go out to the hospital as much as he once did.  Instead he would work in the yard and do some rug hooking or he would work on his trains in the basement.  So, this year I will go visit him, but I will only give him a rose.  I miss my Dad very much and he knows I still love him so much.
